West Coast captain Shannon Hurn remains a strong chance of earning his first All Australian nod, and perhaps even being named skipper, after being listed in the 40-player squad today.

Hurn’s teammates Elliot Yeo, Jeremy McGovern and Andrew Gaff were also in the squad, which will be trimmed to the final 22 at a ceremony on Wednesday.

Lachie Neale was the only Fremantle player named in the 40.

The final team looks set to be dominated by reigning and minor premiers Richmond, who topped the list with eight players in the running - Dustin Martin, Jack Riewoldt, Alex Rance, Trent Cotchin, Josh Caddy, Dylan Grimes, Shane Edwards and Kane Lambert.

The Eagles, Collingwood and Geelong were the next best represented with four players each.

Dockers captain Nat Fyfe, GWS star Stephen Coniglio and North Melbourne’s Ben Cunnington were three of the more notable omissions.
